On the right, there's Cherry Chapstick, which has been my go-to indoor balm for eons (I always wear balm with sunscreen outdoors). I started wearing it because a old boyfriend didn't like the look or taste of lipstick--this was during the early-90s, deep matte red lipstick phase, so I can't really blame him. Cherry Chapstick was enough to give me a squinch of color without offending his sensibilities, plus it tastes yummy. (Except to my best friend Pammy, who hates cherry flavor, but I wasn't lip-kissing her so it was okay). But now, a rival has come onto the scene: On the left, Nivea A Kiss of Flavor Passion Fruit Tinted Lip Care. It gives my lips a deeper, plummier tint than the C.C. but again, just a teeny-tiny bit. And man it tastes good! I keep reaching for the Nivea but feel a little guilty dissing the Chapstick after so many years. My god I kept the lip balm a lot longer than the boyfriend--maybe it's time we break up, too?
